But what I found really annoying was that completion in Eclipse didn't work anymore if there was an error in your code a couple of lines before.
You had to first fix the code before completion started working again....]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 03:53:43 -0500 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 03:53:43 -0500 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 03:53:43 -0500 Nov 12, 2008 Werner Punz 3 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=51776 http://blog.athico.com/ The Drools Blog]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2008 19:45:48 -0500 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 19:45:48 -0500 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 19:45:48 -0500 Nov 11, 2008 Mark Proctor 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=51776 But what I found really annoying was that completion in Eclipse didn't work anymore if there was an error in your code a couple of lines before.
